I have a colleague who’s a forensic anthropologist and gave me a tour of her bone room when she was working on a case involving the victims of serial killers. It was poignant–a shoe still contained a skeletal foot. It was also really interesting. What looks to me like a random piece of bone allows …
So, last week we got rain. Where I live, 3.2 inches in 2 days. Which is a lot, considering that our annual rainfall is 12″ and last year we had half that. California’s not out of the drought by a long shot, but it’s nice to see some moisture for a change. And snow in the …
This little ficlet is a follow-up to Speechless and The Gig. *** “Where are we going?” Travis demanded as the black T-Bird bounced down the gravel road. Judging by the smirk on his face, Drew wouldn’t have told him even if he could speak. Which he couldn’t, because he had aphasia, but that didn’t stop …
I reread this today for the 3rd or 4th time while I was giving my students an exam. It was the perfect length for it, not to mention suitably bleak and angsty (but with an HEA). I make no secret over loving a good hurt/comfort story, and this one delivers. The MC is a prisoner, broken …

Actually, I read this one a while ago, but it’s stuck with me. William Morgan lost his humanity 40 years ago when he was possessed by a spirit of vengeance. Over the years, he’s served his Purpose–but he’s also lost touch with all that is kind and good in the world. Things change when he …
Tagline: Cyrus and Nadir care deeply for each other but they’ve forgotten the first rule of love: communicate in honesty. Their love remains strong enough to weather the changes—if they have the courage not only to face the coming dangers, but to put aside deception and find their truth.

It’s that time of year–holiday stories! And I wanted to give you a list of mine in case you’ve missed any of them. Most of mine tend to be a little unusual in some sense. All my royalties from the first two go to Doctors Without Borders, so please consider making a purchase! The Festivus Miracle …
